A MISSION QUESTION.


Ed. Register-It Is not strange that
many different questions arise in the
management of the churches, as we'll
as individuals, who are converted from
idolatry.
One which has lately been brought
to the attention of your correspondent
is this: How far shall any financial sid
be rendered to any who espouse the
Christian religion? It is fact that
when heather leaves the religion of
his fathers and his people, he is often
ostracIsed and cut off from all meaDs of
former livelihood, so that the poor con-
vert is left to want and starvation. If
he is helped, then he is reproached
with selling himself for Christian mon
ey. If be is helped too much, there
may be- danger of causing the poor
convert to think that he will be cared
for independently of his own exertions.
That would never do. Upon the other
hand, there should be some aid given,
as In apostolic days.

WHEAT-There is very little change
in the condition of the wheat crop.
Last years crop was 81 8 of full crop.
This present years crop shows s2.5-
eight bushels less than last year: 1886.
PoTAToEs-There has been q very
heavy decline in the condition of pota-
toes during the past month. the crop
having encountered unfavorable con-
ditions in every state where potatoes
are grown. The present general aver
age is 67.3, falling off of nearly IA
points since August 1st, when it stood
8O.S. This is by far the poorest pros
pect-but one, in 1881 - for the last
twenty years; and the end is not yet,
for in some of the eastern states they
have had as much too much wet as the
west has too little. Some correspond
ents report strong tendency to rot,
and growers digging before ripe in
hopes to save some of the crop.
APPLES - The apple crop will be
short in every state where extensively
grown. Prospects have been unfavor-
able from the beginning Of the season,
and condition has steadily declined at
each report. Only in New England
and New York was there at any time
prospect of even medium crop and
there condition has seriously fallen off.
Where there was slight prospect Of q
crop the insects and drouth and rot
have thinned the crop, so that some
states will just have enough left for
home use. Yet there will be no FAM
inc, for the means of communication
are SO great that what Is to spare in
one section can easily be taken where
there is scarcity.

That Bible in the Concrete.

In closing my lecture on controver.
sial tactics 1t will not be necessary to
advance much new matter.
The bible wrought into the life of q
man is what God demands. Faith
cOmeth by hearing and hearing by the
word of God, and the just shall live by
his faith.
IT is what every real Christian de-
sires. When the Apostle Paul stood
gazing into Heavens gates he said, ]
am crucified with Christ yet neverthe-
less live. yet it is not that live but
Christ that liveth In me. And the life
that I live in the flesh live by the
faith of the Son of God who loved me,
even gave himself for me. Then 10 the
bible concentrated and wrought int"
the life Of q man. Summing up let 1t
be said that in reading tie bible In the
school the literary character of the book
only is considered. The faith that
arises from that phase Of the bible is
merely an intellectual exercise which
does not control the passions, emotions,
affections and desires. In short 1t is
the faith of devils who believe and
tremble. This view is not only self
consistent and clear, but 1t is sustained
by the character Of the people who en-.
dorse my opponent.
1t Is true that the idea Of the bible In
the life of a man will place the man
who holds 1t directly across the road Of
all our modern Christianity. That is
the best place to be found.
One result of this discussion is the
complication of races. risked my life

Reform Needed.

The public school system of Missouri
has been more generally discussed the
last two months than ever before, and
the pro liabilities are that great many
frauds will be exposed and evils event.
ually corrected as result OF 80 much
interest. In dealing with public schools
two classes of people must be watched.
One class, and the most dangerous, ls
oppose d to public schools. and the 9TH
er wants everything turned into public
schools. Men who naturally hate pub.
lie schools now have an opportunity Of
coming in under the cloak of correcting
certain evils aud wage war on the en-
tire system.
It is safe to say that the free public
schools will exist in this country just
as long as the government itself exists.
But this will not prevent reforms whore
reforms are necessary. The tendency
now in large cities to build up an aris-
t0cratic contingent to the public schools
at the public expense and to the detri-
ment of lower branches Is so plain an
evil that it must be condemned. Read
the following from the st. Louis Re-
publican:
"The school board ascertains that it
can lease building accommodation
ample for high school purposes at n
cost of less than $1,000 per annum.
Pupils can be made just as comforta-
BILE, and can be taught just as much In
the building for which ti.is money will
pay as in any other. yet the sum does
not represent 2 per cent. of the cost Of
the bare foundation walls of the Grand
avenue palace which the RusselIites
are endeavoring to saddle upon the
taxpayers Of st. Louis. When it is
remembered that the city Is greatly in
neeti Of buildings for the accommoda-
tion of lower grade pupils. these facts
and figures constitute grave indict.
ment against the men who voted for
the high school job"
The job referred to by the Republican
is high school building to cost $780,
600 or more, which will be used for
teaching the children foreign languages.
painting, drawing, music, etc. And to
make bad matters worse, the lower
branches Of stuiy will be neglected in
order to keep up the higher branches.
Examples of this kind constitute q
complaint such as cannot be overlook
cd. It Is notorious fact that the
school board of st. Louis used money
last winter to lobby in the legislature
against the passage of bills which
would prevent them from squandering
lakes III putting up pd1htidi uiS u eCiooA
buildings. But the evils which haye
attached themselves to the public
schools Of Missouri do not all belong to
st. Louis by any means. We Ind
them everywhere except In the rural
districts.
Cowardice has permitted growth nf
these evils unrestrained, and TO such
an extent has demagoguery figured 10

the reproach from his old friends and
associates that he has hired himself
out to destroy the religion OF his coun-
try and fathera. OF course, this would
be great block in the way OF his sue
cess among his people. The native
preachers have felt the force OF this
argument often, and have been at their
Wits end how to act.
It was difficult for them to live with

ceive money from the missionary soci-

church. A notable example OF this L.

still more embarrassing, his father told
him If he would be o Christian he nev-
er wanted to see his face again and
that he wnuid disinherit him, which
means much in India. The converted
professor was true to Christ and his
religion and church. He left all aud
followed Christ into poverty aud re-
proach. He was and is q man of great
power and gave himself fully to the
work of the Christian ministry. He
looks for labor and hardships all
through life.
He exhorts his churches to decline,
as far as possible, all financial aiI. and

apostle to the Gentiles, he rejoices In it

as 1t is, the church and cause Of Christ
is making headway in the solution Of
this question.
Let all lovers Of God and missions
be assured that the society and foreign
missionaries and converts are doing all
they can to solve this question for the
glory OF God and the salvation Of the
heather world.
This is only one OF the many for

Messrs J. P. Gabriel and James Elder brought down from Riverside on Satur- day the amalgam results of the reduction of nine tons of ore by their arrastra. It was handsome brick, ready for the re- tort, and possessed a value somewhere between $4O0 and $500; it was the result of eleven days work.
 Messrs Gabriel, Elder, Shaw and "Frenchy'' own seven claims, all free milling gold ore that will average over SIS per ton. The one upon which they are now working has 3g foot ledge which averages over $40 ton It is easily reduced and no rebellious metals are en- countered. Good judges express the opin- ion that these gentleman are opening up property that will bring immense wealth to the lucky owners. They have secur- ed boiler and in less than ten days they will have the old Putnam mill of stamps running day and night on the rich ore to be hauled three miles over a good road and down grade and 1t is calculated that ten tons will be worked every twenty four hours. This will yield sufficient in como to thoroughly develop the proper ties comprising the group and also some thing of margin ill the shape of hand some dividends

The citizens of Florence participated in the celebration of the natal day ill a manner becoming the event. The com mittee of arrangements made the occasion one of pleasure and enjoyment, the citi- gems contributing liberally.
 In the forenoon a vast throrg of people assembled at the track to witness the races consisting of the following pro- gramme:
 Six hundred yard race; entries, Rich eson's Bay, Bartleson's Silver Tail, and Hollands Belle. After a good start the horses came down the track in an excit- ing race, Belle jumping the track, leav- ing the race between the other two hor. ses to contest. The Bay won hard con tested race by half neck. Second race, trotting, mile heats. Entries, Ochoa' s Frank, Flyers Arizona Tom. Ochoa's s horse won the first heat by one length, and the second heat in a canter. The drlver of Tom mistaking the word of start, failed to go, so the judges awarded the race to Ochoa's horse. The third and last race of half mile dash, was con- tested by George H. Sarricks Milk Wag- on, Richeson's Bay and Whitlow's Ge- ronimo, and was won by the Bay, by about fifty feet. Considerable money changed hands on the result and every thing passed off pleasantly.
 In the afternoon an exciting foot race for $50 a side came off between Pat Bam- rick and Si Whitlow, distance 60 yards. Pats avond dupois was against him and Si won by perceptible point.
 The days pleasure concluded with a grand dance at the court house and a fine supper at the Florence Eotel. To q casual observer & glance at the ladies present and their costumes, would con vey the impression that Florence can as- sume metropolitan airs, and that her fair daughters are as handsome and graceful | as car be found in the west.
